This is the SoTea Jasmine Rose Milk Tea ($8.90, +$1.00 for large; no ice, 50% sugar) from SoTea, featuring a jasmine milk tea with added rose scent.
Initial contact delivered delicate notes of dewy jasmine with medium sweetness, carried by the smooth and rounded body of the milk tea base. The floral profile opened softly, allowing the jasmine’s fresh and lightly sweet character to establish itself without becoming perfumed.
Through the mid-palate, gentle toasted notes from the Chinese green tea base emerged, contributing a subtle nuttiness and soft mouthfeel that anchored the floral components. The tea base provided welcome structure, tempering the sweetness while bridging the transition between the lighter jasmine and the bolder rose notes that followed.
Towards the finish, the rose became increasingly prominent, imparting a fuller and more perfumed floral character alongside a restrained astringency and gentle dryness from the tea base. The progression from jasmine to rose, rounded by the toasted green tea notes at the centre of the palate, created a layered and expressive floral profile. The floral intensity is comparable to the Jasmine Milk Tea from Molly Tea, though amplified by the addition of rose, making it likely to appeal more to those who enjoy bold floral teas while proving somewhat heady for those who prefer more delicate flavour profiles. Aftertaste carried lingering floral sweetness alongside soft tannic dryness without becoming cloying.
Overall, a milk tea with a layered flavour trajectory and cohesive texture integration, resulting in a bold yet well-structured expression of jasmine and rose.
This Jasmine Rose Milk Tea was purchased from SoTea in Sydney, Australia in July 2026.
